Higher dimensional algorithms get very messy - see X-trees vs R-trees. E.g., KNN is very fast, if and only if you have a high performing R-tree query. so while the 2d algos might "fall out" of the sophisticated cases, the sophisti

This confirms the widespread anecdotes online, where so and so's friend smoked way too much and had a mental break(more rarely, the sufferer speaks for themselves). I'm glad to see research on this, but I hope it doesn't spaw

I've run Loki in production for over a year... as far as I know, Loki is not designed to be done all-in-one, that's kind of a dev/local design. N.b., I've run this in both AWS/GCP in a k8s scenario, against S3/

The corner of the weightlifting world I keep an eye on has centralized around protein, veggies, and few carbs. The other angle to look at is satiety; good food should also have a satiety so you don't go back and munch. :)

I'm experimenting with using Bard to generate Prolog code. I have this idea that if I can synthesize Prolog and a LLM, I can do some very clever planning work.

One major aspect I want to touch on that bother me in the perspective you criticize. Poverty and crime are not married. My wife and I both grew up poor and working class. Living in trailers are in our life stories. You can be dog poor and s

Quite correct. Made an error. Carryover from a prior job where we mucked with weather data... I was thinking more along the lines of raster geo datasets like sat images, etc. Each pixel represents one geo location, with a carrying load of

Figure every 15 minute someone looks through the door to make sure you didn't harm yourself. Mileage might vary by ward and illness. Some wards are noisier than others. I've heard of a camera in-room as well. Better for disturbanc

I've had a very good experience with pg queuing. I didn't even know `skip locked` was a pg clause. That would have... made the experience even better! I am afraid I've moved to a default three-way architecture: - backend auto

I've never really schemed, only Lisp'd in a common sort of way. I've heard that some scheme things will compile out to C even.

Eh, it was the original therapy chatbot. Focused on Rodgerian psychotherapy. I'm not even sure ChatGPT existed two years ago. It seems like a very odd story. I wonder what the core facts are.

The hardwood enclosure hasn't bothered me too much. The thumb cluster and layers bother me more. I also miss the MS Natural 4K. There's a cheap knockoff on Amazon, but I didn't bother with it.

This looks cool! I would, however, say that while I'm in the general target audience, I won't do crowdfunded hardware. If it isn't actually being produced, I won't buy it. The road between prototype and production is a
